October on the Friendship Trail by David Drum is a 14 x 18 inch oil on canvas that was produced in 2000 and is signed in the bottom left corner. The piece is very characteristic of Drum’s usual style, which uses bright colour and dense layers of paint to depict vibrant forest scenes. In this particular painting David has chosen a palette of warm tones contrasted with saturated greens to portray an autumn landscape that is transitioning into winter. Tall, thin trees dissect the canvas, their bare trunks juxtaposed with the colourful foliage beyond.
